73187, Heres the rundown..help if you can
Posted by EclipsedChef, Apr-20-04 05:33 AM
After replacing the coolant temp sensor and sender, i still havent gotten anywhere with my hesitation. I have three CEL's 36,25,32...pulsed injection which is nothing, idle air control motor, and egr, which is blocked off.

PROBLEM: Once the car reaches its optimal operating temps, it will start to hesitate only when i romp on it, but after a while it hesitates from a start, easy acceleration, or wot.

I just replaced my milled head with a newer one, and i just thought about valve stem seals, could they do anything like im saying?

PARTS REPLACED SO FAR: plugs, wires, coil, cam angle, idle air control motor, iac, injectors, fpr, fuel filter, fuel pump, gas tank, battery, coolant temp sensor, front o2(its advance auto brand though) and probably more, i just cant remember at this point.

Now, spark plug #3 has oil on it, i checked after i ran the car this morning, BUT the spark plug well seal is perfectly fine and brand new, i dont know how the oil would get on the plug like that..any ideas?

I know ive asked this question a hundred times, but i cant drive my car to work and i MUST have my car. Thanks alot
